Caramelized Bbq Salmon Recipes

CARAMELIZED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine basil and ginger.
• Coat the salmon fillets with basil/ginger mixture on both sides and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• When ready to cook for serving, combine the soy sauce, orange liqueur, orange rind, and shallot in a bowl; set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Combine the black pepper and sugars in a shallow dish.
• Press one side of the salmon fillets into the mixture, then sauté the fillet, sugar-side-down, to caramelize the sugars, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Then quickly pour the soy mixture into the pan before the sugar burns, stirring to dissolve any caramelized bits floating around the pan.
• Turn the fillets over and lower the heat to medium; cover the pan and cook for 5 to 8 minutes longer, until fillets are cooked through (they will be dark pink in the middle).
• Remove fillets from skillet and place on serving platter; melt the butter in the pan then add the Marsala, stirring the bottom with a wooden spatula, and simmer for 3 minutes to deglaze the pan, then pour over the fillets.
• Decorate with orange slices, serve, and enjoy!

GRILLED SALMON WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high.
• Lightly mist both sides of each salmon fillet with spray. Season with salt and pepper. Lightly mist a large sheet of aluminum foil and place it directly on the grill rack, spray side up. Set the fillets side by side on the foil so they do not touch. Grill them until the salmon is cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
• Transfer each fillet to a plate and top each with half the onions. Serve immediately.
